## About this tender

As a Waste Disposal Authority, Devon County Council is responsible for providing facilities (Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs)), at which members of the public can discard their bulky household waste.

The authority manages a network of 19 HWRCs which manage approximately 80,000 tonnes per annum of household waste. Of the 19 HWRCs, Deepmoor HWRC in the District of Torridge is subject to contract with a third-party service provider and therefore not part of this contract.

In 2023-24 the 18 HWRCs involved in this contract handled approx. 79,000 tonnes of waste in total, while the two Waste Transfer Stations handled approx. 12,000 tonnes.

The focus of the contract shall be to reduce residual waste, maximise recycling, re-use and re-sale, whilst minimising cost.

The existing contract under these services is due to expire on 31/03/2026 and as part of the planning process for the new procurement to replace this service the Authority wishes to undertake a level of pre market engagement in order to better appreciate and understand the market for this service and ensure it can produce a specification, tender process and final contract as attractive as possible to potential suppliers.

In order to participate in this market engagement process please see the information in the additional information below.

Additional information:

Please note this notice is not a call for competition.
